HAVE YOU BEEN watching Channel 4′s new documentary The Supervet?

The show follows Irish vet Noel Fitzpatrick, who originally hails from Laois, as he does anything and everything to care for hard-to-cure pets around Britain. Hearts in our eyes.

Last night’s episode centred around rescue dog Daphne, adopted from Thailand.

Marry us, Supervet! We’ll make a great team, we promise.
